It’s September and our theme is “Split Personality Ninja”
This month's contest is based around characters with multiple personalities for example from Sakura to Juugo. Using a Wikipedia definition split personalities are "a person displays multiple distinct identities or personalities (known as alter egos or alters), each with its own pattern of perceiving and interacting with the environment". Interpret this definition as you will as long as the interpretation isn't too abstract.

Well with that, I present the rules and regulations, and after reading, give it a good shot.

The winner of this contest will decide the theme for next months contest.

This thread is for submissions into the Character of the Month contest.
Contest Rules are as follows:
1. Every contest will have a theme. Each contestant must abide by the theme. Themes cannot be picked twice in a row.

2. Every Character Must be put in spoiler tags. This is to save space.

3. Contest submissions begin on the first day of each month. The entry period will last until two weeks from that date.

4. On the day after the submission date, a poll will open and it will last for one week. When the poll closes, the winner will be allowed to choose a theme for the next contest.

5. The next contest will not begin until the first of the month, when submissions are allowed once again.

6. Only one official submission per contestant. You may create as many character as you want, but you can only enter one official character. So please put “final or official entry in your post when your ready to turn in your finished character.

7. You are allowed to wait until the final day to turn in your entry. If you wish to keep your entry private until the day the poll opens you can request it in the submission thread or by private message to the organizer (me, Kyubi Jinchuuriki).

This months entry period officially starts September 1, 2010 and lasts until September 17, 2010. Entries will be gathered and put up for voting on September 18, 2010. Voting will end on the following Friday, September 24, 2010.***

Entries can either be private messaged or posted in the submission thread. The submission thread can also be used to post works in progress to gather feedback from other posters. You do not have to post your entries in the thread if you don't wish to (for those who want to be private about what they are working on), until the last day of submissions. The whole idea is to promote quality entries but it's not required to submit early if you are confident in your entry but want to keep your submission secret until the due date.I will periodically update the thread to keep track of the names of all contestants and list those names here. Those who wish to keep entries private until the due date should still inform me they are entering so I can keep track of who is competing.

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post them here or private message me, I'll do my best to answer.

***A few notes about due dates and other "stuff"***
The due date ends at 11:59 (midnight basically) EST. The polling will be up one day later after 11:59 (again, midnight). I will try to be as lenient as I can with last minute submissions but only slightly.

* this format is the original work of Solace/Zaku Hyuga. I have merely edited it to fit this contest.

Bio:
Split personality time! (obviously...haha)
Sol is the 'dark' side. She's kind of a bitch, enjoys messing with people and is either mean or anti social.She is extremely competitive and is therefore one of the toughest ninjas around.
Luna is the 'light' side. She is quiet and reserved, but very friendly once she opens up. She's tough through her own hard work, and is admired by others.
For two opposites, they work surprisingly well together.

Jutsu:
Sol uses fiery ink to blind, entrap, trip up, or otherwise injure/immobilize opponents.
Luna uses moonlight to heal others and herself, and also to purify. It can also be used as a distraction to the enemy and a thin cord for binding.
Both the ink and the moonlight can be wrapped around weapons such as kunai or shuriken to make those weapons more long-range.

Other weapons/attacks/whatever:
two rings-one shaped like a sun and one like a moon, that allow the two to switch back and forth between their selves.
Both are also skilled at hand-to-hand combat.
Kunai and shuriken

History and personal:
The story goes that a long time ago, the sun and the moon loved one another deeply. Their opposite personalities balanced each other perfectly, but because they were so estranged from one another, they could not be together; so they loved from afar. Eventually, both grew up, and the sun was ready to go. The two knew they would both go when the time came, and so they were allowed one chance to be together before their end. The two were overjoyed and shared passion and love with one another, and together as they went, a girl was created...Solluna. She had the characteristics of both the sun and the moon, and she bore their legacy. Sol and Luna are the reincarnation of Solluna.

And, here he is. This is actually my first character, as I didn't really have enough time to start from scratch. I've posted him three times already, and I'm sure those that might remember him are already tired of him. I have a picture of him, but I don't have the time or patience to get the scanner to do its job.

And, enough blubbering. . .

Spoiler for Keikyoku Bakeyo:

Name (surname, given name): Bakeyo, Keikyoku

Village: Originally from the Hidden Mist Village.

Clan: Bakeyo

Clan details: This clan resided in the hidden mist, but is not as powerful as it once was, thanks to Keikyoku.

Gender: Male (probably)

Sexuality: Unknown

Birthday: July 19

Age: 31

Height: 6' 8”

Weight: 200 lbs (heavy rose petals)

Hair: Black

Eyes: Hazel

Clothing: Akatsuki-style cloak, but, in place of clouds, it is covered with lightning bolts. This is the typical attire of the rogue ninja that he is in alliance with. It symbolizes that the people who wear them are borne of the Akatsuki, but are more powerful.

Personality: Aloof and distant. He is unstable because the evil seed, that is present in everyone, has grown within him so much that it is almost a whole different person. This side is pure evil, and is the side that is much more powerful.

Bloodline Limit Details: Special technique that gives the wielder unusually high control of their chakra. This allows them to do jutsu like Kuwashii Chikara no Jutsu and Kousei no Jutsu. The Tougyo has a 18 meter limit. This is a very special bloodline trait, because unlike normal kekkei genkai, this one is given to the shinobi of this clan by its elders when the shinobi reach the Age Of Wisdom. For most people the Age Of Wisdom isn't reached until they become a Jounin, but because Keikyoku was able to learn such powerful jutsu at such a young age, they made an exception. The jutsu to create this kekkei genkai is so complicated, that even people like Orochimaru would have a very difficult time trying to replicate it, meaning that it's not really useful to him.

Element(s): Suiton and Doton

Weapons/items: Thorn Staff- A staff that allows the user to combine water and earth chakra to make Mokuton (Wood Chakra). The Thorn Staff is useless if you can't create water and earth chakra. The vine that is wrapped around it can also be used as a thorn whip, when needed.

Fighting Style: It is unknown what kind of taijutsu he uses. He normally only uses ninjutsu, but he is believed to have some skill in this area. It is known as fact that he is very fast, because the few times he has used brute force, the attack came so fast that it caught his opponents off guard.

Specialties/Skills: He grows very rare plants and harvests their herbs for use in medicines and to try and find a cure for his "curse".

Jutsu:> Suiton~Suigadan> Water Fang Projectile Type: Ninjutsu - AttackClass: B-RankRange: Close (0m ~ 5m)Chakra: (4%)Description: Suiton: Suigadan is a ninjutsu technique utilizing the water element. The ninja does a string of hand seals to cause a nearby body of water to form a spinning drill.

> Suiton~ Suiryuudan no Jutsu> Water Dragon Projectile TechniqueType: Ninjutsu - AttackClass: B-RankRange: Far (0m ~ 10m+)Chakra: (9%)Description: Suiton~ Suiryuudan no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique utilizing the water element. The ninja performs a long string of hand seals which then causes a column of water in the form of a dragon to rise from the water and then strike their target.

>Doton~ Iwa Yado Kuzushi> Stone Lodging DestructionType: Ninjutsu - AttackClass: B-RankRange: Far (0m ~ 10m+)Chakra: (6%)Description: Doton • Iwa Yado Kuzushi is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Earth Element. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. This can be especially useful if in a cave or a stone lodging. The technique can loosen the rocks and cause them to come raining down on whomever is trapped inside.

>Doton~ Doro Gaeshi> Mud OverturnType: Ninjutsu - DefenseClass: C-RankRange: Mid (0m ~ 10m)Chakra: (3%)Description: Doton~ Doro Gaeshi is a defensive ninjutsu technique utilizing the earth element . After striking the ground with their hands, a large wall of earth will rise into place as defense. The defense is not perfect though, a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.

>Moku Bunshin no Jutsu>Wood Clone TechniqueType: Ninjutsu - SupplementaryClass: A-RankRange: ---Chakra: (7%)Description: Moku Bunshin no Jutsu is a unique technique used only by Keikyoku and Yamato. Using his ability to utilize Mokuton (wood release) techniques, Keikyoku will form handseals and cause beams of wood to emerge from his body. This wood will morph and form a clone of Keikyoku, capable of utilizing all the same Mokuton techniques as the original.

> Ha Shuriken no Jutsu> Leaf Shuriken TechniqueType: Ninjutsu – Supplementary, AttackClass: C-RankRange: Close (0m ~ 5m)Chakra: (0.2% per leaf)Description: Ha Shuriken no Jutsu is a unique technique used only by Keikyoku. Using his ability to utilize Mokuton (wood release) techniques, Keikyoku will form handseals and cause the leaves from a nearby tree to fall off, harden, and become sharp. Keikyoku will then throw them at his target.

> Moku Setsubi no Jutsu> Wood Equipment TechniqueType: Mokuton – SupplementaryClass: B-RankRange: Mid (0m ~ 10m)Chakra: (Varies depending on weapon)Description: Moku Setsubi no Jutsu is a unique technique used only by Keikyoku. Using his ability to utilize Mokuton (wood release) techniques, Keikyoku will form handseals and cause something from nature to transform into a peice of ninja equipment. (ex. A branch tranforms into a sword.)

> Mahouteki Enmu no Jutsu> Mystic Mist TechniqueType: Ninjutsu – Attack, SupplementaryClass: S-RankRange: Far (0m ~ 10m+)Chakra: (Varies depending on strength and size of the mist, but can reach up to 80% consumption of his chakra reserves.)Description: Mahouteki Enmu no Jutsu is a technique utilized by Keikyoku, with the use of his Tougyo. As soon as he detects an enemies presence he releases a small but steady flow of chakra which mixes with the air to create a sort of mist covering an 18 meter radius around him. Then, as the enemies approach, the 'mist' slowly but surely drains their chakra, incorporating some of it into itself and dispersing the rest. A major drawback is the time it takes for the mist to grow strong enough to do major damage. It can only incorporate an enemies chakra a little at a time. But, if it goes unstopped, it can eventually build up enough strength to quickly incapacitate any foe still within it.

> Hinsei Chikara no Jutsu> Nature Force TechniqueType: Mokuton – Attack, SupplementaryClass: S-RankRange: Far (0m ~ 10m+)Chakra: (Varies, but can require up to 76% of the user's chakra.)Description: Mokuton~ Hinsei Chikara no Jutsu is technique used only by Keikyoku. Using his ability to utilize Mokuton (wood release) techniques with the Thorn Staff, Keikyoku will form hand seals and extend his chakra to all plant life up to 25 meters away. This will allow him to take control of them and use them in any way he wishes. The main drawback to this jutsu is that it can require an extreme amount of chakra and concentration, which will usually force him to draw some chakra from the plants he is controlling. And if he is not careful and uses all of that chakra, not only will he lose control of the plants and become vulnerable, he would most likely die from the strain. This technique was forbidden because of the great risks of the technique and the strain it puts on younger ninja. He will normally only use this technique when he is being controlled by the dark side of his personality.

> Kuwashii Chikara no Jutsu> Full Force TechniqueType: Ninjutsu – AttackClass: S-RankRange: ---Chakra: (Almost all that is left in Keikyoku's reserves.)Description: Kuwashii Chikara no Jutsu is a secret technique utilized by Keikyoku by using his Tougyo. When activated, it spreads almost all of Keikyoku's chakra that is left in his reserves throughout his body. This not only makes him stronger and faster for a short time period, but it also increases how fast he thinks, the level in which he thinks, his stamina, and his reflexes. The side effect is, of course, after he uses it he is completely drained and the worst possible scenario is that he dies. He will normally only use this technique when he is being controlled by the dark side of his personality.

> Kousei no Jutsu> Regeneration TechniqueType: Ninjutsu – Defense, SupplementaryClass: S-RankRange: (0m ~ 10m+)Chakra: ---Description: Kousei no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique Keikyoku has created, utilizing his Thorn Staff and Tougyo. This jutsu uses no chakra, but it allows the user to regenerate cells and chakra by absorbing the Natural Energy from any plants or minerals in the earth within a 200 yard radius, adding to his reserves and also increasing chakra production for a short time. The Thorn Staff and the fact that he hadn't learned this from any kind of summon lowers the risk of turning into a statue that would normally be associated with the technique, although it doesn't neutralize the risk. A major drawback is that, while this jutsu may regenerate his chakra and increase the speed of his cell's division, cells can only divide a certain amount of times, which means whenever he uses it he is actually shortening his life slightly. Also, if he absorbs energy to increase the production of chakra, his body cannot create chakra fast enough for a short time afterwards, and he will have to wait a few days until his body is able to produce chakra at a normal and healthy pace. And, there's always the chance that he'll turn into a statue from too much of it. He will normally only use this technique when he is being controlled by the dark side of his personality or if he is dying.

Background: When Keikyoku was born, his parents couldn't take care of him, so they gave him up to a distant relative of their's in the Hidden Mist Village. When he was 15 years old, his 'parents' finally told him that he was adopted. When they told him he was adopted, he suddenly started talking to himself, and yelling about how he was in control. This went on for only 10 minutes until something black started spreading across his face. The black "parasite" was the dark side of his personality and was originally very weak. But, this night it started to take him over. Soon, half of his face was pitch black, and he started to smile an evil smirk. Then, without warning, he attacked and killed his former father, and then he waited until his former mother returned home from the market. As soon as she walked in he grabbed her from the shadows and forced her to look at the horrible thing he had done, and, when he'd had his laughs, he killed her.

Keikyoku then woke up sleeping beside a creek, not a memory in his mind about what had happened after his dark side, now nicknamed Shade, had killed his former parents. Then he looked to the ground beside him and saw an arm with a special ring on it. A ring that only the leader of the Bakeyo clan wore. He found out later that he had only tore off the leaders arm. He then looked into the creek with the grim realization that rose petals were starting to grow around his head. Keikyoku then knew that he had to find his family so he could find out what was wrong with him. But, he could barely stand, so he had to rest at a nice shopkeepers home nearby.

After he felt better, he headed to the Village Hidden In the Grass, where he'd been told his parents were, but when he arrived he found that they'd had another child, Zetsuka, who was just about to start at the academy. After he found out that his parents had given him up, only to keep his younger brother he was crushed, but he still had questions so he asked his real dad if he knew why he was like this.

His father explained that when Keikyoku was a baby, the day before they took him to the Mist Village, Kartomaru (Keikyoku's father) was trying to find something for his family to eat, and, as he was looking around, he had seen a strange old man with a basket of fruits. Kartomaru had asked the man how much he wanted for them, but the strange man said that Kartomaru could pick out one and keep it for free. Kartomaru then carefully picked out a rose-shaped fruit. It turned out to be a Rosango fruit, a fruit that grows on a tree that has been cross-pollinated for many years and was a combination of many different plants.

The tree, it turns out, only produces one fruit and then it dies, and the difficulty and costs of cultivating were so great that there were only a handful of Rosango fruit on the planet! So, when Kartomaru had come back to his cottage, he'd sliced the fruit up and laid the pieces on a table. He gave Keikyoku the first slice, and turned arround to grab his water. When he turned back, all of the fruit was wilting and Keikyoku was the only one that had the chance to eat any of it.

Keikyoku was satisfied because he knew the cause. Now all he had to do is find a solution, so he decided to leave the village. As he was leaving, though, he met a young woman named Zaiga. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and the moment she saw him she came over and told him that she loved his rose petals.

Keikyoku and Zaiga had a happy relationship for a whole year before the trouble came. The shinobi of the Mist Village had been looking high and low for him, and they'd finally found him. The battle that followed the shinobi's arrival was brutal, and ended with Keikyoku drained and all the shinobi unconscious. But, not before one of them tried to hit Keikyoku with senbon that had been dipped in a very deadly poison.

But, Zaiga pushed Keikyoku out of the way, causing the poisoned needles to hit her instead. It didn't take long for her to pass away, but right before she died, she gave Keikyoku one final gift: A very special rose, one that she said contained very special properties. She told him it had taken her a long time to find the rose and that she had been saving it for someone special. Then, at the exact moment that she passed away, the rose that she had given him grew to the size of a staff, and a rose vine wrapped arround it. To this day, that thorn staff has never left his side.

Well I'm calling it. According to the clock it has just turned midnight in New York so the entry phase of this competition has officially closed. The voting thread will be up in the next 24 hours. Good luck to all entrants.
